Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

I also have this on 14.6.... I wasn't getting it on 14.5....... its weird it does it on aum, bias fx2, tonestack after about 5 mins of playing. Definitely couldn't rely on this for live
I was having this all over the place in 14.4.1 and 14.5 but it’d gotten better in 14.6. It’s come back but so far only in YouTube both stand-alone and Safari. Luckily it hasn’t hit any music apps yet. So far, anyway, I’ve been able to start to power down but hit cancel to temporarily fix it.
It’s so sad to read all of this reports - !!!
And a feeling I don’t want to have is growing after these last weeks of ongoing reports of missing AUs and crackling audio since IOS 14 was introduced ...
and I guess I have to freeze my IPad Pro 2017 on IpadOS13.7 - and stop investing any more money into the IPad-eco-System ... and I assume it was around 1000Euro in the last years - and invest instead into my MacBook Air M1 and Desktop Plugins ...
All of this system instabilities and the obvious lack of interest by Apple to solve them creates so much un-creativity in my mind ... by just reading about it - that it’s almost hard to believe - since this piece of hard- and software was so much fun and inspiration around the last 3or4 years ... but as it seems ... these happy days are over now ...
And i am very happy that I haven’t updated my system ... and further maybe I will just take it from the Internet - save it my studio and treat it like a rare Juno from back then - no travels, no gigging - just using it at home for the sake of pleasure ,,.
Sorry - for the melancholy ... but I carried these thoughts for a while within me ,,, and today ... after some beers with a friend .., and coming reading these new statements ... it had to come out!
Yes, same shit happened to me too. Since I have installed 14.6 on my ipad 6th generation I got audio crackling with various apps for making music which they didn't do prior to ios 14.4.2 connected to my multichannel audio interface via Apples Lightning to USB camera adapter (MD821ZM/A) .
So Apple, fuck you. I will not buy any IOS devices or apps anymore, I am just done with your stuff. Mr. Cook , go to hell. Apple is just shitting on us nowadays.
Still on 13.7 and nothing I've read so far makes me think I might update. This is one thing that scares me about ipads, it all depends on Apple's priorities. I'm putting upgrading to the new iPad Pro on hold for now, for that money I expect things to just work.
Last two posts are exactly how I feel as well.
Apologies for beeing so crude in my rant above.
I just don't see the unique selling point for Apple products anymore.
Apple effectively sold products to the media industry over the years, audiovisual artists purchased their products at relatively high prices because of their eco system.
Even today you have to pay hundreds of hard earned $/€ for memory upgrades although prices for memory ICs are ridiculously low. We all approved this (until now).
And now, even if I set the software latency to 2048 samples the audio output is crackling in every app in IOS 14.6 although the ARM processor utilization is low?
I am so pissed, I can't use the dvice for making music anymore.
I’m have an iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (4th generation). With 14.5, I was experiencing the crackling with AUM, Cubasis, and Auria. The interface is Duo-Capture. I do use blue tooth to complete midi connection to control my BeatBuddy. Mixing of midi recording and audio recording plus the DuoCapture, Direct Monitor selection affected the crackle. I record in Cubasis the midi, commands to control the BeatBuddy, the audio out of the BeatBuddy through the Duo Capture, Mic Audio, iFretless Bass, 275 Piano and several other synths all at the same time
Fingers crossed (seems to help) all is very solid, today.
I am newish to this forum but I will not do any iOS updates until I see comments recommending the upgrade. Thank you for advise and observations
You all are talking about ipad but I have iphone 12 mini with 14.4.2 and using presonus ione interface. I’m scared to update if things can get worse.
Sometimes everything works very good on even lowest latency buffer but sometimes I get small glitches on sound. (I play guitar through apps like Bias FX) Those glitches don’t go away even if I put latency buffer up. Glitches are not a big deal if playing alone put for live band playing those are annoying. Feels like sometimes iphone makes something on the background that takes resources.
We're still experiencing this issue on iPad Pro M1 machines with iOS 14.6 when running our products: SynthMaster Player, SynthMaster One and SynthMaster 2. It's better than 14.5 but still there.
I must report that on ios15 beta this issue stopped for me, back to usual rock solid core audio, but AmpliTube no longer loads, which is no problem for me.
Have you tried deleting Cubasis and GtP, reinstalling, then restarting the iPad? This seems to have fixed the “crackle after 5 min” issue for most of us… will deleting the apps erase important data for you?
Not the case with iOS ... AFAIK after any major update, your device will reindex everything, and this will grind away in the background for a couple of days, leading to increased battery drain and potentially lower performance until it's finished. The more you have installed the longer this takes.
I haven't experienced this in 7 years of iPad updating. But I rather tediously turn off all the search functions in every app I install, because I never use them. See pic.
That probably helps, but it's not just Siri and search. Sometimes an update will require reorganization of the file system and other behind the scenes stuff. It doesn't happen often and it's usually mild enough that you won't really notice it, but it's good to be aware of so you don't do an update the day before you need your device for a performance or presentation.
MacOS will do this kind of thing too. I'm hoping that the extended modes that are being added in iOS 15 will help with this stuff eventually. It would be very useful to have a "presentation" mode that blocked all notifications and random background tasks.
Nice find! It's quaint that some members offer such well-meaning and on-the-mark advice...
I didn't have this very often and now I've moved to the iOS15 beta on the iPad that had the issue so I can't test it anymore, but I had noticed that it depended on the order I did things. If I plug everything into my USB hub and then plugged in the CCK to the iPad and waited for my audio interface to make a bit of the initialization pop sound when it turns on before I opened any audio apps, then the crackling wouldn't occur. If I did it in any other order, the noise would start after a little bit. Even if I unplugged the interface and then plug it back in, the noise would stop and then start again after a bit. But, this didn't happen if I let the audio system completely initialize before I started any audio apps.
I should have proofed before I hit the post button. I'll blame it on still being asleep. I meant to say if I did the plug in thing and wait for the initialization before opening any audio apps then the noise wouldn't occur. (I'll go edit my comment above for some clarity.)
It could have all been coincidence too, but it is worth a try.

As a developer I am SICK and TIRED of receiving 1 star reviews on AppStore for something that is NOT our fault. f**k!
Bruh, unnaceptable.
The cynic in me thinks Apple does this to force people to upgrade.
Much crackling here with setups that never gave me a problem before.
Bummer.
